With this in mind I have to forgive my parents for refusing my request to reconcile or even meet me though I walked past their front yard 2 months ago when I was in Auckland.
I have to forgive the men I have been involved with over the years for treating me badly and hurting my family and I

Once, when a small girl, I refused to make up with a little girl who had been spiteful to me BUT had apologised. Grandad told me gently that I should always accept an apology and be willing to forgive AND forget since even then there was much for which I myself needed forgiveness. He went on to say that God would not forgive me on Judgment Day if I could not forgive others and that the only thing that was truly unforgivable was unforgiveness itself. It was a lesson that stayed with me ever afterwards for despite his tricky temper my grandfather was one of the most truly forgiving men I have ever known.
I think, Jen, that like me you do not bear grudges and already you are on the way to forgiving them all. I am unutterably sad that your plea for reconciliation failed but you have done all you can. You cannot make someone forgive and reconcile. You have done your best - the next move is up to them. Time to let go and move on.
